Norway's BBC mapped the wealth tax "exodus" yesterday. The kicker: only 2% of wealth tax payments left Norway. Overall, tax revenue increased. The few who left most likely did so to take advantage of a temporary tax loophole -- not because of the wealth tax.

It’s incredible how socialists consistently offer up some of most inefficient tax policies imaginable. They hate human flourishing, they love demagoguery.
The “Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act” is nothing more than a recurring long-term economic death bomb, disguised as making the most valuable members of society ‘pay their fair share’. The European Union repealed similar policies because all it does is ravage economies and disincentivize wealth *creation*.

Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate. Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd: -Give $12K to a working family of 4 -Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing -Guarantee universal childcare -Raise starting teacher pay to $60K And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

@jmhorp @tonyannett Your criticism was essentially saying we shouldn’t have any, but I guess now that you know about this (assuming you didn’t before), moving forward you’d suggest alternatives like this 1% wealth tax to people like Bernie?
Jeremy Horpedahl 🥚📉@jmhorp
I think we should copy the wealth taxes of Bernie's two favorite countries, Sweden and Denmark
English
@InkandLearn @tonyannett A 1% wealth tax that hits just about everyone is extremely different from a 5% wealth tax that only applies to billionaires
English
It’s puzzling to me what people go to such lengths to protect plutocrats from taxation.

@jmhorp @tonyannett It’s puzzling you’ll ignore that he loves this country also.

@tonyannett Yes, it is puzzling why Sanders loves countries with no wealth tax

@InkandLearn @RachelMoiselle Anything's possible if you are disconnected from reality.

As a simple matter of fact, the specific assertion highlighted is wilfully misleading.
Niklas very cleverly says the medical literature ‘documents rectal injuries’. Note that he does not say ‘documents dog rape’. That is because there is no such occurrence in the literature, it is completely without precedent in this regard.
As @AviBittMD wrote (full comment linked below):
‘No cases of canine rape have ever been confirmed in the medical literature, and the very few cases of rectal injuries that are described are documented as being initiated by sexual/curious zoophilia on the part of the human, not an assault on an unwitting human on the part of the dog. Moreover those very same medical journals specifically state what you are claiming as “never been described, nor is such a such a thing likely”.’
There were credible testimonies in the Kristof piece. However, the Sagan standard was obviously - obviously - required on claims of dog rape and it was not provided in the piece.
I am honestly dumbfounded that Nick and the New York Times have gambled their credibility as a journalist and paper respectively by insisting on publishing and standing behind the dog penetration aspects of the piece. Worse, they are now wilfully misrepresenting the medical literature on the subject.
This is a total collapse of journalistic and editorial standards that, aside from anything else, has left the credible testimonies - ones that deserve to see the light of day - in the dust.

Readers offered questions and pushback about my investigation into sexual assaults against Palestinians by Israelis. So here are our answers: nytimes.com/2026/05/21/opi…

@billybinion Also a good window to spot liars from.

The wealth tax debate is a good window into whether a politician is willing to live in reality. Even if you despise the rich, that doesn’t change the fact that wealth taxes deter investment while raising almost no money. The idea that it would fund universal childcare is absurd.
English
Europe already tried this. Sweden, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Finland, and others had far milder wealth taxes than Bernie's and still abandoned them. They raised very little revenue & damaged the economy. Yet we keep getting told this time will be different.

@RachelMoiselle Fair enough. I’m sorry I assumed something you didn’t say (I’m assuming you’re thinking this is impossible). I looked a little bit more and I can’t find a peer reviewed case of this, I only found this example of it happening. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Par…
English
@InkandLearn Did you even click into the link that you have provided? It proves exactly what I have outlined, that the medical literature encompasses cases of human-initiated penetration by dog.
English
@amy_likes_owls @RachelMoiselle Well, I really cba to look too much into it, but it’s not a big leap to me if people can initiate that contact with dogs, then it’s perfectly reasonable to believe you can train a dog to do that.
English
@InkandLearn @RachelMoiselle Did you even look at your own link? It's about people into bestiality initiating that contact, not about dogs trained to r*pe.
English
@InkandLearn @O__V__P @treeaston Yes because there are many political issues that exist. Welcome to earth.
English
So potential Dem voters want the party to be:
🔵 economically progressive
🔵 socially reasonable
🔵 anti-war
This is not an argument for moving left or center, but rather a secret third thing: heterodoxy.

@liberalboomer2 @O__V__P @treeaston You reckon 3/4 of the party that hold that opinion don’t actively give a fuck about it?
English
@InkandLearn @O__V__P @treeaston 85% of the party also thinks trans kids shouldn’t play sports but they don’t actively give a fuck about it
English
@O__V__P @treeaston No one cares about that third thing actually

The Republic of Somaliland has chosen Jerusalem as the location for its Embassy in Israel.

@InkandLearn Sudan doesn’t have jihadists. DRC maybe. If you’re Congolese direct your hate at Belgium and Leopold. But I’ll stick with calling you an Igbo. Thats the Palestine flag….
